Meet Maine Laveau | Recording & CEO of FLY BOY MUSIC GROUP

We had the good fortune of connecting with Maine Laveau and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Maine, what are you inspired by?
I myself find inspiration from being Challenged, my surroundings and environment. Elders and Peers including myself go through so much in a day and there are 24 hours in day, so all them won’t and can’t be the same. Even when making money every sale comes with a different buyer, just like every producer comes with a different beat, you as an artist have to meet and greet the challenge with victory.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?

Being left fatherless and only his siblings and peers to look for direction with life, he began to find a path with music and entertainment even in the rough neighborhood. Maine first started paying attention to Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, Bryan “Baby Williams and J Prince of Rap a lot Records. These three guys they knew a lot about music, which made Maine want to know more about music.

The year was 2008 and it was Christmas Maine didn’t expect much for the holidays but was surprised when his mom got him a karaoke machine. Not only did it boost Maine ’s Motivation but it let him know that his mom was paying attention to the creativity he was trying to cook up. As Time passed so did Maine’s urge to make music, He started highschool and finally started playing sports. Though never leaving the world of music, and taking the role as an athlete Maine still stayed close to early morning ciphers that took place in the morning on the basketball court or in the lunch spill out during lunchtime. 2012 Maine was Awarded a Scholarship to play college football in his senior year of high school, but due to low HSCT scores, his scholarship was revoked.
